Malaysia says delivery of Thai-made AstraZeneca vaccines delayed
The Peninsula
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia is expecting deliveries of AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccines manufactured in Thailand to be delayed, its science minister said on Wednesday, among several countries to report a holdup with orders from the Thai plant.
Science minister Khairy Jamaluddin did not specify to reporters how long the deliveries would be delayed or how many shipments would be affected. The delay comes amid questions over AstraZeneca's vaccine distribution plan in Southeast Asia, which depends on 200 million doses made by Siam Bioscience, a company owned by Thailand's king that is making vaccines for the first time.More Related News
